A brief recap of Berlin ER Season 1 Episode 4
In Berlin ER Season 1 Episode 4, Ben and Suzanna's relationship takes an unexpected turn. They have been at odds since the beginning of the series because of their differing views on how to manage the hospital. However, they momentarily make peace in this episode, and fans can expect their relationship to progress in the coming episodes.
On the other hand, Emina, Dom and Olivia deal with another hectic night shift at the hospital. Emina also catches Afrim and Ben giving drugs to a patient illegally and gets into an argument with Afrim.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, showrunner Samuel Jefferson talked about the portrayal of the emergency room in this episode. He said:
"The honest answer is everything and nothing. If that makes sense. The best way of thinking about it is taking all of my experiences, blending it, and then dishing out the blended thing. So everything in it comes from some place of authenticity. Either from me or the other German doctors that we spoke to, or even the cast and crew. But nothing is exactly one to one."
